Senior Credit Checks
Counselors met with seniors in their English class last week to discuss credits. The purpose of this one-on-one meeting was to ensure seniors are in the appropriate classes to meet their graduation requirements, or if deficient, have a plan to make up credits. We also discussed post-secondary plans and answered any questions that students had.
PreACT Test Sign Up
Campo will be offering a practice ACT test, called the PreACT test, on Saturday, February 20th. All grade levels are welcome to take this test.

When: Saturday, February 20th, 8 am - noon
Where: CVHS Building 5
Cost: $25 Can be paid online through Parent Portal.

AP Exam Registration
Hello AP Students-
The regular deadline to sign up and pay for your AP exams has passed and there now is a late fee of $40 per exam as mandated by the College Board.
Please follow the 2 steps on the handout to register for an exam. They are outlined here. Students must complete both steps to successfully register.
The deadline to register WITH late fees this year is February 26, 2021. This does not apply to students in semester 2 classes of AP Government and AP Microeconomics.

EVIT
EVIT has opened their online application. Due to the nature of this year, they decided it would be best to open it early. Below is a video that will walk you through the application.
Sophomores can begin applying by going to evit.com/enroll. Once EVIT has all of your documents, Attendance, Discipline, Current Transcripts, and Immunizations, then your application will be reviewed and possibly accepted.
Campo's EVIT representative will be on campus twice in January to help with enrollment, but for the programs that fill up quickly (most programs offered at East Campus: Aviation, Vet Assistant, Future Engineering, East Cosmetology, East Medical Assistant, East Nursing Assistant) I would recommend you fill an online application sooner than later. To secure specific timeframes (AM or PM time slots), I would also recommend enrolling sooner.
How to apply at EVIT:

key club
Each year, CVHS Key Club with Gilbert Public Schools recognizes graduating students who have made a commitment to go above and beyond to serve in the community. Students who volunteer 200 or more hours of service throughout their high school career may be recognized at graduation in the program and with an Honor Cord. There are four different award levels:
- White (200-399 hours),
- Green and White (400-599 hours),
- Double Copper (600-799 hours)
- Service with Distinction Multi-Colored cord (800+ hours).
The complete application and required documentation must be RECEIVED by 2:30 pm on Thursday, March 4th, 2021. Applications received after this time and date will not be accepted.
Please request a copy of your service hours record from Mrs. Kenna King in the bookstore. All hours must have been completed between the summer before freshman year through the time of the application. In addition, all hours must have been submitted and approved through the Community Service Coordinator, Ms. Diggs.
Because of the financial burden that purchasing these honor cords has placed upon the Key Club community service club, members have determined that it is not sustainable that we continue to do so. Once applications have been evaluated, a letter will be delivered to the students. If the application is approved, any student who would like an honor cord will need to make a payment of $10 to the club by Monday, April 5, 2021. The cords will be ordered and will arrive in time to wear for Baccalaureate and Graduation ceremonies.
